Going to install kernel but failed to ping between OMAP experiments kits and laptop

Hi,

   I'm trying to boot my OMAP board and the output from serial port is (tera term) :

// ====================================================

Booting with TI UBL
Device OPP (300MHz, 1.2V)

U-Boot 2009.11 (May 03 2010 - 15:38:40)

I2C: ready
DRAM: 64 MB
In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
ARM Clock : 300000000 Hz
DDR Clock : 132000000 Hz
Net: Ethernet PHY: GENERIC @ 0x00

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
8192 KiB M25P64 at 0:0 is now current device
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
U-Boot >

// ====================================================

I think there is no kernel image or kernel image corrupted. So I'm trying to install a new kernel but after done all the configurate. I still failed to ping between my laptop and OMAP experimental kits.

Below is the Laptop ipconfig and OMAP board config :

1) I'm using windows 7 64bits and wireless LAN. I have tested to ping the 192.168.0.120 from laptop and there is no device using this ip.

2) I just connect a serial port and a power cable to OMAP board. Do I need to connect a straight/cross ethernet cable?

3) The OMAP 16 dip switch are all OFF state

Can I know what should I do to ping successfully?

  • Hi,

    In which processor (processor number), are you working?

    If you are connecting the Laptop and board only, then need to use Cross Ethernet
    cable for point to point connection. If you are connecting the Laptop and board via
    network switch, Hub then use the straight cable.

    -Thanks,
